“Alexander's own memoirs disclosed that above all else, Aristotle implanted a love of medicine in him. Not only was Alexander fond of discussing it but even prescribed for his friends when they were sick, ordering them to follow special courses of treatment and diet. Not surprisingly, he loved and admired Aristotle even more than he did his father. 'The latter,' he said, 'has taught me to live, but the former has taught me to live well.”
